No Updates

Not sure if / when this site will be updated.

There doesn’t seem to be a good place for a blog at this point in my life.

Going to remove the “under construction” sign, this site is now as it should be.

Hugo .Context

So in Hugo you use the . to access variables and other information related to the page/site. .Title or .Resources.GetMatch "image" At first it seems simple, however once you go out of context it changes.

When it happed to me the error was very vague:
execute of template failed: panic in Execute: reflect: Method on nil interface value. See "https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/5327" for the reason why we cannot provide a better error message for this."
Hugo documentation doesn’t talk about it when mentioning variables. It does in the template introduction though, like they expect you to read it in order. 🙄

Hugo, draft = false

I am in the process of building this site, thought it might be a good idea to post issues and how I overcame them.

This first issue has a simple solution. If you are having problems where your pages are showing up when running hugo server but not when publishing them with hugo. Check that your pages that your pages are not draft.

Example: content/about.md

+++
title = "About"
draft = true
+++

Some about page

That page will not show up in your published site, it’s a simple fix and should have been obvious but it was not. Set draft to false or remove that line completely.
